CurtainCagesTM -- Indoor / Outdoor Cable Systems

Our Wall System includes horizontal cables which run from wall to wall (or frame to frame), at the same height as your net, allowing the net to be curtained to either side to open up your floor for other sports, mowing the grass etc.

Our Ceiling system elevates the horizontal cables to under your trusses, and vertical drop cables secure the top of your tunnel - allowing for a curtain effect while also maximizing your over-head space.

"Thought you might be interested in seeing what all your effort and time went towards. ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS. The net, frame and BATA machine are awesome. We are having somewhat of a mild winter thus far, so we decided to start Spring Training early!!!!! Thanks again for everything."The Allen Family from Maryland (Jan. 2008)

Wall CurtainCageTM Cable System (Indoor/Outdoor)

Description: Our Wall CurtainCages include 3 cables which run horizontally, at the same height as your net. The cables attach to turn-buckles, which attach to eye-bolts or steel face plates, which anchor into your wall or structure. Steel or plastic snaps attach the cable lines to the top of your tunnel, creating a "curtain effect" - allowing your tunnel to curtain to either side of your facility, "bungied" up against the wall, approximately 2-3' feet from the wall.

Bottom Line: Keep in mind that while the nets will be against the wall, you will still have 3 cable lines which run overhead at the same height as your net. If you need to maximize your over-head space, you will want to consider a Ceiling CurtainCage or a Winch CurtainCage (coming soon -- contact for info).

Also keep in mind that not all cable is created equal. While you will find other companies that sell "hardware kits" for substantially less - you get what you pay for. All of our materials are 100% U.S. based, and engineered with structural support in mind. Trust us, we have access to the cheaper materials as well, and could easily sell "aircraft cable kits" for 50% less than our prices, which may look the same in pictures, but are inferior in quality. Trust your instincts, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Bottom Line: The Basic Kit is Optimal for lighter-weight batting cage nets in use with a steel frame with center support points, or within a short gym distance i.e. #21 gauge netting over 60' or shorter span -- if spanning longer, additional vertical drop-points will be required.

Note: If you don't have solid anchor points, you can only put so much tension on your cable lines without reinforced anchors. Unless you have a very light-weight net, the result of this is either a large amount of sag, or pulling your eye-bolts out of the wall - or both. So if you don't have "back-side" wall access to mount a large anchor washer or plate, you may want to consider our Commercial or Pro Kits, which include Steel Mounting Plates.

Bottom Line: Our Commercial Kits are optimal for heavier batting cage nets spanning from wall to wall, upwards of 70'-90' without any center drop-cable support points.

Extra Hardware with this kit, not included in Basic Kit:

Upgrade from 1/8" to 1/4" Cable

(120') of Extra Cable

(6) Steel Wall Plates: 5" x 5" or 8" x 8"

(24) Mason or Wood Lags / LDTs (large diameter tapcons)

Upgrade from Plastic to Steel Snap Hooks

(22) Additional Snaps

Note: If your net is extra heavy, or you just want the assurance of extra stability and limited sag, you may want to consider upgrading the steel plates to either 8"x8" or 12"x12" -- or upgrade the Turn-buckles to 12" x 5/8" -- review our Pro Kit for these options, or contact us for individual component prices.

Bottom Line: Optimal for heavier batting cage nets spanning from wall to wall upwards of 90-100' without any center drop-cable support points.

Extra Hardware with this kit, not included in Commercial Kit:

Upgrade from 12" x 1/2" Turnbuckles to 12" x 5/8"

Upgrade from 6" x 6" Steel Plates to 12" x 12" with 8 lag points

(24) additional Lags / LDTs (large diameter tapcons)

Tube of commercial-grade adhesive to apply to back-side of plates for extra reinforcement

Note: The Pro Kit is the same system we use for our professional nationwide installations. It creates solid cable lines for optimal support, and results in professional looking tunnels. The adhesive combined with the extra durable 12"x12" steel plates (with 8 lag points to disperse the tension) also gives the additional stability to insure your plates are adhered tightly against your walls, mitigating safety risks.

Ceiling CurtainCageTM Cable System (Indoor)

Description: Our Ceiling CurtainCages include 3 cables which run horizontally, a few feet under your ceiling trusses. Vertical cables attach from these cables, to the top of your tunnel. This allows the cables to slide like a curtain, from one end of your facility to the other.

Bottom-Line: The benefits of the Ceiling Cable System over the Wall Cable System is that it increases the height of the horizontal cables, opening up your area for other activities, i.e. long-toss, football, volleyball - or other activities that require open over-head space.

Also keep in mind that not all cable is created equal. While you will find other companies that sell "hardware kits" for substantially less - you get what you pay for. All of our materials are 100% U.S. based, and engineered with structural support in mind. Trust us, we have access to the cheaper materials as well, and could easily sell "aircraft cable kits" for 50% less than our prices, which may look the same in pictures, but is inferior in quality. Trust your instincts, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

*Custom Kits available - any of the components can be added or removed to create your own kit!Contact Us for custom quote.

Note: We also offer "cable crimping" services. This prevents the need to loop each end of every vertical cable, clamping with cable clamps (200 total). Crimps are more secure, and virtually slip-proof. Eliminate the safety-risk of a cable the wasn't tightened completely, and streamline your installation with pre-crimped cable ends, also pre-loaded with snaps.

Cost: $4.00 each -- Additional cost for Pro-Kit: $315.00
